Zahiri

From Wiki: Ẓāhirī is a school of thought in Islamic jurisprudence and Aqida. The founder of this school was Dawud ibn Khalaf (d. 270/883), also known as Daud al-Zahiri because of his insistence on sticking to the manifest (zahir) or literal meaning of expressions in the Qur'an and the Sunnah; the school and its followers are called Zahiriyah. Ibn Hazm was a well-known practitioner and teacher of this school.

The modern Salafi movement can be described as influenced by the Zahiri school.
